Hello,

Im Drive the Basic Setup from Jan. Here is the Setup.

xform/index.php?act=view&ID=124&setup=t4_2015

Is a very good Setup and im think the car is easy and nice to drive. Only i have change two things. Rollcenter front i have change the inner shims on bulkhead from 2mm to 1mm and i have remove the four screws from top deck for more flex.

Is already easy to drive. But i think the car is not enough fast i can change what i want but the lap time is the self.
I think the car is "sluggish" its not so agile and i think its not "roll" nice.

What i can change to make the car not so "sluggish" and to make faster ?

Thx for Help and Tips !

What effect did removing 1mm of front shims give?
What effect did removing the 4 screws give?
Are you suffering from under steer?
Did you try softer diff oil and softer rear springs as Jan commented?

You could try adding the layshaft screw back in, and possibly the steering plate and post to make the car stay flatter and feel more 'reactive'

Have you tried the kit setup, just as a reference point?

It worked very well for us.

The setup you link to differs not significantly from the general "trend" in other team driver setups.

There are however some differences:

Many run downstop 4.6/5.6, not the 4.8/5.8 in the setup sheet.

Shims under shocks; most tends to have more shims. e.g. 4/1 front, 2/2 rear.

Many runs no shock rebound, you have 20/50 rebound in Jan's setup.

Rear diff oil is 6000 in Jan's setup, many run with thinner oils (e.g. 2000-5000).

You could try to adjust these settings to see if that works better for you.

Or try Mike Gosvig's latest stock carpet ETS setup, which is a setup that differs a little from Jan's setup:
